Dear Neti Pot

Dear Neti Pot,

We're breaking up and this is why:

- I don't like choking on salt water.  Don't tell me some people do...

- In order to decide the burning sensation you cause is worth the relief I might feel 45-60 minutes later, I have to already be in immeasurable sinus pain, and I sort of feel like in an ideal relationship, this is what you would be preventing.

-Sometimes I need to bend down and pick something up at some point in the part of my day that remains following using you, and I will never NOT find it horrifying that a full serving of water pours out of my face when I do this.

- Two days ago, I had something like swimmer's ear for a few hours, and I feel like you might have had something to do with this.  It's January, and regardless of the weather, we both know I don't swim, Neti Pot.   When I'm sick, I barely even bathe, so... unless there was a contact between my head and water that I don't recall, I feel that naming you the top suspect is fair.  Not cool, Neti Pot... earaches make me homicidal.

- I'm sort of wondering if you don't just move my gunk from my face to my lungs.  This is a new theory, based on the way I've been feeling since waking up this morning, and I don't have much more to say about it yet, BUT if I find out this is true, Neti Pot, I assure you that you have entered a world of pain.  Coughing makes me pee.  I can't live this way!

Peace Out,
Alanna

P.S. - I'm not throwing you in the garbage yet, because I have like 60 packets of the sinu-cleanse solution left.  But as soon as I find either a new use or new home for those, you are OUT bcuz we R DUNZO!!!!
